After a March spent in the USA, the ATP tour heads to Europe for the first 1000 Masters tournament of the 2026 season on the continent and the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo. World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz is defending his title, and we'll show you where to watch Monte Carlo Masters live streams no matter where in the world you are this week.
Alcaraz is riding high after making history in January — by winning the Australian Open, the 22-year-old became the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam. Already a legend of the game in his early 20s, he'll be delighted to return to the clay courts and kick-start his preparations for a tilt at a third consecutive French Open crown.
As has become the norm over the last couple of years, Jannik Sinner is the man looking most likely to defeat him. He has his own opportunity to take a career Slam when the season reaches Roland-Garros and is in fine form, having just won the so-called Sunshine Double (Indian Wells and Miami) without dropping a single set.
With no Novak in the field, among those hoping to upset the applecart are world No. 3 Alexander Zverev, last year's losing finalist Lorenzo Musetti, and 2023 champion Andrey Rublev. To see if Alcaraz can be toppled, keep reading to discover where to watch the Monte Carlo Masters and how using a VPN will allow you to watch the action on your usual streaming service while overseas.
